By introducing the gay angle in the mainstream TV soap Indian TV soap Maryada has created a history in the Indian television. Although show is not playing in the prime time many people must have waited and watched today's episode of the serial in which lead character Gaurav breaks the relationship with his boyfriend because of unavoidable threat from his mother.
Many gay men's dreams came true when they saw that magnificent gay couple on the Indian TV in an emotional scene which any gay man would not want to happen in his own life. The shot was full of emotions with realistic dialogues and pattern. When Gaurav informs his boyfriend that for the life of his own mother Gaurav is leaving him, Gaurav gets speechless on his boy friend's question threatening his own life.
Indeed it was a magnificent debut of Gay relations in Indian TV. Actors, directors & writers have successfully expressed what they wanted to say. Now it's all on Gay men in India and other homophobic people who will decide fate of this serial and the status of Gay relations in Indian society. But the most important judge in this judgement will be common Indian people.
I am eagerly waiting for tomorrow, when I can see the reaction of media. Media is already busy in covering some unexpected events happened in India. In this scenario expecting a big bang on news channels will not be fruitful. Though not on all TV News channels but at least on 2-3 channels we can expect news , talk shows about this.
My worst fear is reaction in other way where public also will join hands of homophobic extremists to express their anger ans deapreciation towards this show. So nothing can be predicted exactly right now.
But here are few things which are really solid enough to consider. By stating these things here I would finish my writing for today and keep posted further happenings.
1 Better late than never, Indian media has considered the presence of queers in India and respected it by introducing gay relations in their story.
2 Gay people have gotten a very good platform to stand in front of the society and introduce themselves in their language, clear the misunderstanding and work towards creating better society for everyone.
3 This serial has helped may gays by boosting their self respect, made them felt that they are no more alone and criticized in the society. Somebody is here who is thinking, understanding their problems and ready to put in front of society in society's own language.
4 Gay people have gotten a very good reason to smile.
(Videos and news on further happenings will be posted soon.)

I dont think Maryada started it Rishta.com and love sex aur dhoka already aired gay relationship that is to nice way...... you tube you can watch rishta.com episode 6....
ReplyDeleteI have seen that episode. It was a detail introduction session of GAYness. And it was for that particular episode only. The GAY character is not mainstream character like Gaurav of Maryada. In Maryada the GAY related things are still getting aired. That's why Marayada is the first serial who aired GAY relationships in mainstream flow.
